Cherry Blossom Cottage
A 9 by 9 cherry wood cottage on a smooth stone platform with a dark oak gable roof.
Pink cherry planks, cherry log corners and a dark roof give this small home a calm Japanese-inspired look. The smooth stone platform forms a walkway around the house with lanterns at the front corners. Cherry blocks need version 1.20 or newer.

How to build the Cherry Blossom Cottage
- 1
Platform
Place an 11 by 11 smooth stone platform. Mark the 9 by 9 house inside it, leaving a one-block walkway all round, and fill the inner floor with cherry planks.
- 2
Walls
Raise cherry log corners 4 blocks tall and fill the walls with cherry planks. Leave a door gap in the middle of the front.
- 3
Windows
Add two 2-tall windows at the front, two on each side and three at the back.
- 4
Roof
Build an east to west gable from dark oak stairs, starting one block outside the walls. Five layers of stairs meet at a dark oak plank ridge. Fill the side gables with cherry planks.
- 5
Garden details
Place lanterns on the two front corners of the platform and cherry leaf bushes at the back corners. Leaves you place by hand never decay.
Builder tips
- Find a cherry grove with the Biome Finder or by exploring mountain meadows.
- Swap glass for white stained glass for a paper-screen look.
- A small pond beside the platform suits this style.
